Employed benefit recipients: leaving benefit receipt is no easy undertaking

Abstract

"Approximately 1.3 million individuals in Germany are employed benefit recipients. Despite being employed, the need for additional benefit receipt is often caused by non-standard employment and low hourly wages. Individuals with higher professional skills have better chances of leaving benefit receipt than individuals with lower skills." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
